Breakfast of NFC North champions



Picked these up in the store the other day. Delicious. But before I bit into Roberto Garza's breakfast of NFC North champions, I stood frozen in front of the grocery store freezer.

A donut endorsement? Really?

Not exactly Brian Urlacher-esque or Devin Hester-ish. You know, Old Spice and Under Armour, and whatever other brands the Chicago ... << MORE >>

Should we be surprised?



How does he do it?

This boy makes up for one less arm than everyone else with a powerful dolphin kick and ability to stay streamlined, keeping his head down and taking less breaths than his competition. You can see toward the end where he gasps for air - but he gets back after his stroke in time to touch the wall first.

This day and age we shouldn't be surprised he won. People are ... << MORE >>

Commercial stars Guillen ... or Rocky?

We all remember feeling sorry for Rocky as he tried and failed take after take while filming endorsement commercials. Not the case here.

No reason to pout for Ozzie Guillen during this debacle. Unlike the punch-drunk Rocky, Guillen's quite a skilled actor, a verbal machine gun who can accurately shoot from the hip. At times during this White Sox ticket-package push, it even seems as though the commercial was masterfully conceived for the outtakes alone.

Watch as Guillen ... << MORE >>

Book excerpt: Da Bears!



    If virtually everyone on the '85 Bears has a (Walter) Payton-as-prankster story, Dave Duerson thinks he may have the best one. It happened after the 1985 Bears season as Duerson made the first of his four consecutive trips to the Pro Bowl.
    "We were in Hawaii, and unbeknownst to us, Walter had this thing that he did with quote-unquote rookie Pro Bowlers," remembers Duerson. "So we're ...

Can I get a witness?



Ed and Mike would have been enough proof to print this in the newspaper I work for, but God's good to mention to. Best to, really. He prolly had a hand it.

Who's on board?



Maybe it’s the inner child in me – or the channeling of Ricky Schroder's  – but this might just be the coolest logo in sports right now.

Not only does the engine appeal to youth, it seems to fit Chicago's rail history and market.

So who's on board?

Who said it? (11/14/10)

I just like having the ball in my hands. I feel like I can do great things with the great talent that God blessed me with.

Hint: A star on a first-place NFL team. Answer here.

Book excerpt: The '85 Bears



        Anyway, here we are in camp and we have to rally together, all of us. The ones who are here. The ones ready for this goal. McMahon may have been a jerk - I remember his first year he ran the mile and a half in almost 13 minutes, walking the last part, looking like he was going to puke and die, behind everybody but our very ...
